Antonia Bird was a British film and television director known for films such as Ravenous and Priest.

Born 1951, died 2013.

DeBaser hosts two reviews of Antonia Bird's films: Ravenous and Priest. Ravenous is noted for blending thriller and horror with a cannibalism theme; Priest provokes debate about confession and hypocrisy. Reviewers praise performances (Robert Carlyle, Guy Pearce, Tom Wilkinson) and Bird's natural genre-mixing.

For:Viewers interested in provocative cinema, genre-blending horror/thriller and social-realist drama.

 "Ravenous" is indeed an almost entirely unknown film that was poorly advertised, but like many times happens, it is certainly better than the dozens and dozens of trashy films that are thrown onto our screens every year with millions of dollars.

 "Priest" by Antonia Bird is a film worth watching because, far from being religiously conventional, it provokes a debate on one of the ecclesiastical dogmas that has always had supporters and detractors, namely the revelation (or not) of the content of a confession, in the event that it brings to light a terrible truth.
